Move Better Group

Aging with Balance, Strength and Confidence

It’s Never Too Late To Start: Join FOR’s Move Better Group

Our Move Better class is designed for anyone who wants to get strong, gain improved balance and increase joint mobility. We recommend these sessions for beginners – or those who haven’t trained for a while, those who are injured or simply those who want precision in their movements.

We place great emphasis on the warm up, mobility and ensuring every participant feels they’re being pushed safely where they are capable. Never fear, it is still a great workout including heart pumping movements. Our sessions will help you become more confident in your movements inside and outside the gym. We limit the number of participants to four so each individual gets ample attention to from the trainer.

We as Americans have come a long way when it comes to understanding the benefits of exercise at all ages, especially over 50 years young. Research is abundant. Exercise helps prevent disease: physical and psychological.

The number one cause of injury among the elderly is falling. Not only not knowing “how” to fall, but also lacking the strength and balance to withstand, or better yet, prevent one. Not knowing how to get up from a fall is often disastrous and fatal.

How about this to get your attention: “Falling once doubles your chances of falling again.”

Many people who fall, even if they’re not injured, become afraid of falling. This fear can cause a person to curtail their everyday activities — purely out of fear. When a person is less active, they become weaker and this increases their chances of falling.

At Fitness on the Run, we decided to hit this fear not only “head on” but “core, glute, and mobility on.” We have started a small exercise group that is solely focused on aging with confidence. We focus on balance, mobility, core and glute strength, and form.
